The cyber attackers explain that they have “databases containing private information (full name, date of birth, email, telephone, address, nationality …) of more than 3 million customers and employees of The Phone House”, threatening to that “if you do not pay, all this information will be published in our public blog and darknet forums and will be sent to all your partners and competitors”.
The alleged cyber attack has not yet been confirmed by Phone House, but cybersecurity companies such as McAfee have warned of this new Babuk ransomware that has started to act in 2021 and it has already affected several large companies.
